  • Founder

    Hi! I’m Shane. I am an easy going and positive person who likes meeting new cultures and people from different backgrounds. This is, essentially, why I’ve decided to become a host in Santa Fe. I’m obsessed with traveling. In addition to having traveled all over the US, I’ve visited twenty countries in total throughout Asia and Europe. I’ve stayed in short-term vacation rentals all over the world and have met some great people on the platform who I now call my friends. In my free time, I like meeting up with friends, looking at art, and attending festivals. I look forward to making your Santa Fe trip one that you have been dreaming about.


  • Co-Founder

    Hi! I’m Vildana. I’m optimistic, cheerful, and love communicating with people. I take real pleasure in hosting and helping others explore Santa Fe and its surroundings! I’m an explorer myself and find it really enlightening to visit new countries and learn about local cultures. Whether you are looking for the best new restaurant in Santa Fe or a great day hike, I am happy to share my favorite spots with you! Staying with us is like staying with friends or family. Aside from speaking English, I’m fluent in German and Bosnian. Looking forward to meeting you! I’ll do my best to make your stay comfortable and help you enjoy Santa Fe to the fullest!!

  • I love Santa Fe! The people, culture, food, and of course, the design opportunities. I specialize in staging for move-in/out. I especially enjoy creating indoor and outdoor living spaces that capture the beauty of Santa Fe. I look forward to working with you to design a cohesive space for everyone to enjoy!
